Walnut Bakelite BROLITE Hexagonal Door Knobs

All our BROLITE real Bakelite pieces are based on original designs from early to mid-20th century and unusually, all our door knobs & handles are interchangeable on all of our Bakelite back-plates. A luxury which gives a huge number of combinations to choose from. If you are unable to see the combination you are after, you can order the parts individually to make up your desired set. We offer some great combinations and here, we show a classic stepped hexagonal door knob with a very rarely seen (as original) back-plate. embossed detail at the top of the plate, This superb back-plate we call the "Fan" and apart from the fan shaped)there is complementing detail at the base of the plate. What a superb combination! The back-plate is also available without the key hole. Pairs of handles or knobs are complete with a 5/16" (7.9mm) square spindle so they should fit some old locks as well as new ones. You may have a 7.6mm spindle in the old lock, in which case the square hole in the lock can be filed out to 7.9mm with a sharp square file. The necessary slotted grub screws for the spindle and slotted wood screws for the plates are also supplied. The back plate is No 6090 and the knob is No 6130, these parts can be purchased separately if required.Available in Black or Mottled Brown.Measurements:Knob: 43mm across the flat edges(50mm at the furthest points).Back-plate: 188mm x 45mmProjection: 60mm

Period Door Hardware

Over the years, I have collected an extensive range of period door hardware from medieval locks right through to 60`s coloured plastic handles. One of my all-time favourites are the Bakelite handles and knobs from the 30`s 40`s 50`s and 60`s, in particular the early Art Deco sets.
